Print | Send

On May 15 2009, ALECTIA took over Tano FoodCon Group. The acquisition is part of ALECTIA’s growth strategy and strengthens the company’s position as the leading consultant to the Danish and international food industry. The activities are gathered in the new business unit ALECTIA Food. The acquisition is ALECTIA’s eighth acquisition since 2005.

CEO Ingelise Bogason, ALECTIA, says: The financial crisis holds many challenges, but also many opportunities. Through the acquisition of Tano FoodCon Group ALECTIA enters an important market segment of the global food industry, i.e. the meat and fishing industries. As we combine our existing strong skills in dairy and brew with Tano’s skills, ALECTIA gains a unique position as an international food industry consultant, based on the strong Danish traditions in this sector.”

Tano FoodCon Group consists of the companies Tano Food Consult and Dan Knowhow in Denmark, and FoodCon in Norway. Tano FoodCon Group provides consulting services to the Danish and international meat and fishing industries. The consulting services range from traditional engineering consulting to expert consulting related to the production processes of the food industry, including food safety and hygiene. When these skills are combined with ALECTIA’s expertise within occupational health and safety, energy optimization, logistics, waste water treatment, and industrial constructions we can offer very strong solutions to the market. Half of Tano FoodCon Group’s turnover comes from international projects. The Group employs 23 people and is located in Odense.

”Through the years Tano has established a position as a leading consultant to the meat and fishing industries in Denmark and internationally. We see great opportunities in carrying on these activities within the ALECTIA framework with their similarly strong market positions in other important food industry segments. Together we can offer a very strong range of consulting services for the whole food industry”, says Managing Director Knud Rasmussen, Tano Food Consult.
